napkins for my aunt margretta.
a tablecloth for my mumsie.
sometimes fabric speaks to me
and whispers someone's name in my ear.
how can i not take the bolt off the shelf,
ask for a yard or two and stitch a bit?
wrapping, addressing the package
and sending it off.
it's the next best thing to giving a hug in person.
Lucky loved ones!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, I adore the table cloth.
You sure know how to make people feel special.
I love fabric too, but have no skills to work with it. Must be so satisfying and fun.
You've inspired me. I think that perhaps I'll finally stitch together some patches for a tablecloth.

ReplyDeleteI so agree!
ReplyDeleteDoing so for others makes me feel as happy as when I sewed my children's clothes; just that special fabric for that spaecial garment for that one special and precious child.
Thanks for this wonderful post.
Cheers!
Jeanneke.
